Early upsets from the likes of Oakland, Grambling and Grand Canyon taking down Kentucky, Montana State and Saint Mary’s respectively, have helped open up the field of the NCAA Tournament known globally as March Madness. As we prepare ourselves for Saturday’s thrills and spills, plenty of attention will remain on the four number ones, namely, UConn in the East, North Carolina in the West, Houston in the South, and Purdue in the Midwest. Can defending champs UConn become the first team to repeat the title win since Florida in 2006-2007?
